ELA recently released the results of its Performance Indicators Report (PIR) for the third quarter of 2001 (July - September)

The PIR tracks the performance of prominent leasing organizations in six key areas. Because the same companies were tracked and used in the analysis, the PIR provides fairly reliable trend analysis. Each illustration below reflects the data provided by those companies responding to that particular question. Typically, not every company polled responds to every question.

New business volume showed a slight increase of almost 9% since the third quarter 2000. Total net portfolio continues to grow with almost a 20% increase since the third quarter 2000. The total number of employees actually shows minimal growth with an increase of less than 1% from the third quarter 2000. Credit approval ratios have followed a downward trend ranging between 3% and 10% and with an overall decrease of 15% since the fourth quarter 2000. Average losses have increased almost 60% since the third quarter 2000. Delinquencies remain fairly stable with a slight decline in current (less than 30 days) receivables since the third quarter 2000. However, past-dues continue to spike, particularly the over-90 accounts.

This study is conducted quarterly by the ELA, which provides a variety of data, including customized market analyses, to ELA members and organizations involved in the $242 billion equipment leasing industry.
